Horns blared and drums thundered, the sound reverberating in the square of the Temple.
"The auspicious hour has arrived!" After Yu Ba Chi, who was wearing a red ceremonial robe, finished speaking, Fang Yun led the officials and began to worship the heavens.
After going through the tedious ritual, Fang Yun stood up.
Then, the temple trembled slightly, forming an invisible force that surged toward the south of the city. It went deep into the ground and melted the frozen ground.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the officials.
Shen Ren, the registrar, suddenly shouted, "Men, capture this demon fox! At this moment, it was the Heaven Worshipping Ceremony, yet a demon fox had barged in. This was going against the Heavens! Men, kill this demon fox on the spot and apologize to the heavens! "
The officials and bailiffs present turned their heads to look and found a cute white fox squatting at the edge of the square.
Everyone was stunned, because everyone knew that Fang Yun had a little fox, and many people knew the cute Nuhu.
Seeing that there were many people in front of her, Nunu did not dare to go forward. She squatted at the edge of the square and waited for Fang Yun. She did not expect to be scolded by Shen Ren, the secretary.
Nunu was scared and angry at the same time. She took half a step back and looked at Shen Ren, whining.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, the sky was suddenly shrouded by dark clouds. Thunder and lightning appeared in the clouds and covered the sky for thirty thousand miles.
Ao Huang's eyes and mouth were wide open as he stared blankly at the sky. His eyes were filled with confusion. As a powerful Dragon, he actually couldn't understand the changes in the weather.
At the moment Nunu appeared, Fang Yun's eyes sparkled with a cold light that seemed to be able to freeze the entire world. His face paled, but he recovered quickly. He looked at Shen Ren with a cold face.
Shen Ren was surprised. Then, he turned to Fang Yun. "Master Fang, why did your little fox come to the Heaven Worshipping Ceremony? It's not that I want to criticize you, but unrelated people disrupting the ceremony will not only reduce the county's harvest. He even ruined the great ceremony, infuriating the heavens! Look, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. This is the evidence of the wrath of the heavens. According to the etiquette, those who barged into the Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony should be slaughtered like three animals to appease the wrath of the Heavens. I implore Fang Xusheng to sacrifice the little fox for the sake of the people of Ning An County and for the sake of the human race! "
"Ya ya!" Nu Nu curled up into a ball. His eyes were filled with rage and fear.
Fang Yun looked at the registrar, Shen Ren, and clenched his right fist.
All the officials had already guessed that someone had deliberately set a trap for Fang Yun.
Most of the officials were silent, but a few of them were extremely excited.
"Lord Fang, as the County Magistrate of Ning An County and Xusheng of the human race, you should lead by example. If you try to protect the little fox, I'm afraid you'll be stripped of your position. Banish him from the human race! "
"A little fox dares to barge into the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony? This is disrespectful to the Saints, disrespectful to the Heaven and Earth! Could it be that this fox was sent by the demon race to destroy the human race's plan? "
"Fang Xusheng. You can't sacrifice your future for a fox. "Deputy District Magistrate Tao Dingnian finally spoke.
Yu Ba Chi said angrily, "Shameless! Who is it? Who tricked the innocent little fox into the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony? I don't believe it would barge in for no reason! "
Fang Yun was stunned. Then, his expression changed drastically. He grabbed the official seal and blinked. Countless images flashed through his eyes. Finally, it was as if he was in a trance, overlooking the entire Ning An City from the sky.
At this moment, Ning An City was as big as a round table in Fang Yun's eyes. He blinked again. Ning An City quickly became bigger. Soon, he saw Yang Yuhuan and the others at the east gate of the County Literature Institute.
At this moment, a guard hurried over and said loudly, "Bad news! The two women of the County Magistrate's family have barged into the County Literature Institute. It's said that they want to destroy the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony! "
"Ridiculous!" Shen Ren screamed, but his eyes sparkled with pride.
"What?" Yu Ba Chi and a few others who had sided with Fang Yun cried out in shock.
Many of them felt sorry for him after hearing this.
"This is bad." The Deputy County Magistrate, Tao Dingnian, stroked his beard and lowered his head. He looked worried.
Shen Ren suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony is taboo for non-scholars. If they barge in, how will they be punished?"
"Of course, they will be sentenced to death!" a minor official beside Shen Ren said.
Shen Ren suddenly smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm so old and muddle-headed. I actually forgot about this! Yes, yes, yes. Those who violate the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony will be killed without mercy! Even the dignified Lei family was punished by the Fire of the Three Rites. How can two women and a fox be spared? "
At the same time, a thunderous voice suddenly came from the side gate of the County Literature Institute.
"Who dares to cause trouble for the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony? Hurry up and give yourself up! "
The voice was loud and full of energy.
Fang Yun heard this familiar voice and his expression became worse. He turned to look at the person who spoke. However, his hand was still holding the official seal. Images kept flashing through his eyes.
The person who came was none other than the person with the highest status in Ning An County, the Transport Commissioner, Geng Ge!
After Geng Ge was kicked unconscious by the Dragon Horse, he never showed up again. This was the first time he appeared in public since then.
Everyone, including Fang Yun, looked at this old Han Lin who was over seventy years old but still had a strong body. They were all looking at his forehead.
There was nothing but wrinkles.
Even though Geng Ge was shrewd, his face flashed with anger when so many people looked at his forehead.
Shen Ren hurriedly walked forward and said, "Greetings, Lord Geng! You finally came. I heard that not only did a little fox come, but two women from the Fang family also barged in. They simply disregarded the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony! The County Magistrate hasn't said anything yet. It seems that only you can uphold justice. "
Geng Ge immediately said, "I just used the official seal to patrol and found two women and a barbarian at the east gate! However, since the two of them are Fang Xusheng's family, don't be violent. Invite them over immediately! "
"Yes! I will personally 'invite' them over! " When Shen Ren said the word "please," he deliberately emphasized it. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Fang Yun with a smile on his face. He quickly walked toward the East Gate and summoned the runners.
Geng Ge looked coldly at Fang Yun and said, "County Magistrate Fang, the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony is extremely important. Not only does it affect the annual harvest of Ning An County, but it also affects the dignity of the human race. You actually allowed your family to barge in. This is a disgrace! After today's matter, I will join hands with my colleagues to write a letter to the Hall of Rites to accuse you of 'incompetent family management' and give you a D grade for education! If you can't even control one family, how can you educate an entire county? How can you educate the human race? "
Fang Yun held the official seal in his hand. It seemed that it was inconvenient for him to speak, so his reaction was slower. Just as he was about to speak, Ao Huang flew into a rage and rushed towards Geng Ge. At the same time, he let out a deafening roar.
After all, Geng Ge was only a civil official. He was so frightened that he took three steps back. His expression changed and he almost spat out a verbal sword.
Ao Huang said angrily, "Haven't you had enough of being kicked by the Dragon Horse? Dog official! Left Prime Minister's dog servant! You can't win against Fang Yun in every aspect. Not only are you incompetent, you even used underhanded methods to target his woman. You didn't even let the little fox go! You bastards, your biological father must be a barbarian demon! "
Geng Ge was fuming with anger. The phrase 'biological father is a barbarian demon' was the most extreme insult to the human race. In layman's terms, it was saying that his mother had been defiled by a barbarian demon. In the past, someone had killed someone because of this phrase. In the end, the local county magistrate sentenced him to manslaughter. He was only imprisoned for five years before he was released. This showed how serious this kind of insult was.
As for the fact that Han Lin had cursed in the imperial court, he had been dismissed from his post and was never rehired again …
